Last night we watched the White Sox beat the Twins 1-0 to propel the Sox into the playoffs. Of course, everyone in the Windy City wants to see a White Sox/Cubs World Series. Having both teams in post season play hasn’t happened since 1906 when the Sox beat the favored Cubs. That same N-S rivalry still exists in Chicago and always will.

But it’s true. That IS what I wish.) …

We got a new sofa last week. It was time since our old one had three rips in the cushions. 🙂 You can only flip couch cushions so much and then…well, it’s beyond any sort of hiding technique. I felt kind of sad letting the old couch go. It was the first really big thing we bought when we moved to Seattle in ’96. But 12 years and 2 children later, the couch was TRASHED.
